Let me grant you a wish... a Starbucks Coffee 2010 Planner!!!

As the clock strikes twelve, watch as almost everything slowly turns more festive... out comes the reds, the greens and the whites.

Just like magic, happy holiday tunes starts to play putting everyone in a better mood as they make their Christmas lists.

In a couple of weeks, watch as friends and family exchange gifts over a delicious spread of only the season's best.

Best of all, the RED cups are HERE!!!... and they're here to stay up until January 6, 2010!!

This year, Starbucks Coffee is bringing back three of our well-loved holiday beverages namely, the Dark Cherry Mocha, the Peppermint Mocha and my personal favorite, the Toffee Nut Latte!

In addition to these highly sought-after drinks, be sure to try a couple of their plenty holiday food items such as the Creme Brulee Cheesecake, the delectable Chocolate Molten Cake, Paul's favorite the Christmas Turkey Chicken on Cranberry Bread and some returning favorites such as the Peppermint Brownie and the Toffee Nut Loaf.

There are actually 14 holiday food items according to Celine Clemente, who's a dear friend and Starbucks Coffee's ever-talented R&D specialist. It's a good thing that we have more than a month to enjoy them one by one as all of these items were carefully created to complete your coffee drinking experience at Starbucks.

The 2010 Planner

Of course, the highlight of celebrating Christmas at Starbucks Coffee here in the Philippines is the one and only..or shall I say, the three and all so pretty looking planners that are available beginning November 4, 2009!

Yes, beginning today, you can now indulge in your favorite holiday beverage, munch on one of the yummy food items and earn a sticker or two to be a couple of steps closer in bringing home one of the three Starbucks 2010 planners!

The planners comes in three lovely designs that features the different stages of the coffee bean. Browsing through the inside pages, you'll see the different things that I love about Starbucks Coffee: the beverage, the history, the partners, the innovations created and their global responsibility towards the environment, education, culture and the arts.

As an additional treat, this year's planner comes with a small booklet of coupons that you can use in certain months throughout the year!

Of course, for every redemption of the Limited Edition Starbucks Coffee 2010 Planner comes a donation to the continuous relief efforts for the Typhoon victims and to SparkHope – Starbucks flagship program for early childhood care and development in partnership with UNICEF.

Pretty easy huh?

Hi Fran! I'm so excited! I've been crazily waiting for these Starbucks planners - *so much anticipation built up* - while you guys from the launch simultaneously posted plurks about these!Woohoo I hope I get to win this planner! =)Thanks and more power to your blog!

hi, fran! i would truly love to win that planner! my favorite starbucks planner so far was the 2007 edition. i made it into a scrapbooks of sorts--i glued on photos, even show tickets, wrote down my favorite quotes and listed down my dining experiences (a.k.a. food diary) in it. please take a peek:

hey fran! i want to win one! why do i want the planner? well, if i do win the planner doesn't go to me. i'll give it to my hubby. :) he just got promoted and a new planner to start the year would be a great welcome for him :) at least he won't use those steno notebooks to write down the things he need to do everyday.

i do hope you choose me (hehehe) it would be a great xmas present for him.

I've always wanted to own a Starbucks Planner but I never get to complete my stickers every year (for 2 or 3 years already, it's always that way, the procrastinator in me). I hope I get to own one this year, for FREE (crossing fingers) :)

because i dont just WANT to win I NEED to win!!! oh no....this is truly a sign of Starbucks addiction!!! Seriously though, I wish I win this because my Starbucks collection will simply be incomplete without a 2010 planner....

The red cups are out alright! I welcome in the Christmas spirit with my favorite peppermint mocha! Times are hard and the drudgery of the daily grind can really get to me..but just like a wish granted...dropping by my favorite Starbucks store and curling up on a couch with my favorite cup of cheer...can make it all wisk away and bring me to my happy place. having a limited edition Starbucks planner can help me to remember these happy times and i can also jot down my thoughts...so even when am not curled up in my favorite place i can open my planner and read those passages. And it brings me to my happy place all over again =)

yay. Hurray for Starbucks planners and I think I find the selection gorgeous. I have been a planner freak the moment I stepped out in the corporate world. Back then, I only jot down skeds and reminders about work and social life stuff. Now, I add notes on pedia check-ups, deadlines on utilities/home repairs, mapping out family vacations, hubby's important scheds (he tends to forget), etc.

Also, it's not just a planner for me. It's where I see my life is heading to...:)

PS. Hope you don't mind me linking your blog. I have too many links in my bookmarks that it's too impossible to find it in a single click. :)

Hey Franny! I loooooooove Starbucks. You, me and Anika all know we owe the fact that we graduated from college to Starbucks! Hahaha, how else could we have weathered all the sleepless nights and the crazy IMC workload?

I've always had no trouble collecting stickers for my planners. In a year I'd actually redeem about three of them. Haha! But I think it would be great to win one for once.

Hi! I saw your link from Michicoo's plurk. Anyways, though I'm trying to collect the stickers, I want to join your giveaway.

I have two reasons why I want the Starbucks planner: first, I haven't been able to redeem any Starbucks planner because I failed to collect enough stickers for it; and second, I got pregnant and couldn't drink coffee for nine months. It's only now that I've been savoring its smell and taste. Is that valid? I hope so! :D

You wanted a unique comment? Well, here goes. I'm giving you coffee trivia from koffeekorner.com that you might find interesting: - Did you know that Scandinavia has the highest per capita annual coffee consumption at 26.4 pounds followed by Italy at 10 pounds? - Regular coffee drinkers have about 1/3 less asthma symptoms than those non-coffee drinkers. So says a Harvard researcher who studied 20,000 people.- Hawaii features an annual Kona festival, coffee picking contest. Each year, the winner becomes a state celebrity. ;-)

Hello FRAN!I know that you don't know me but I'm very interested in this post of yours!

I'm not that Sbucks fan but I like it :)The reason I joined your contest and why I deserved to win is that:I really need to organize myself right now.And that Sbucks planner might help me to be update and find myself.

That's all.Trying my luck on this.Have a good day!and Take care always!

I'm first again, haha. I would love to have that starbucks planner because:1. I want it!2. It'll come from you =) *blog idol*3. my doctor disapproves of my 'drinking coffee' so I can't afford cheating with 17 more cups. =)Thanks Fran!

the first sip of Peppermint mocha, tingles in my tongue with the red sprinkle, then the bitter sweet of the milk and mocha ahhhh . . . with the day's work anxieties past and the evening starting makes and the warmth of the drink on my cup so comforting.

I've been a Starbucks planner collector since it started. scribbling thoughts and memories in it has been an addicting habit. it's great that "s" as i call it, has come up with a newer design and format. Kudos! and also. "the best part of wakin' up is starbucks in my cup!"

Why do I want a planner? Simple, I love Starbucks planners. I can't start my year properly without a Starbucks planner, I have this entire ritual that I go through every year with my new Starbucks planner. It just doesn't feel right without it.

I love Starbucks planners because they allow me to be me. OC-wise, creative-tendencies-wise, forgetfulness-wise.

As a teacher, I need to have a plan. I need to have a schedule and to be organized to be effective. When I was younger, my memory was good enough to do my scheduling and planning. But now....I NEED A PLANNER!!!!

Time and again, we often hear the cliche that the best things in life are free. Should I ever win the Limited Edition Starbucks Coffee 2010 Planner, which I dearly hope, I would definitely consider it as one of the best experiences I'll ever have. Something that I'll be forever grateful for not only to the Giver but also to the instrument.

I truly deserve to win a planner because I'm the most un-dis-non-organized person in my office. I get in trouble for missing meetings/deadlines/ and even office socials! They think i'm anti-social but i'm just anti-organized!With this planner, I'll have a chance to be a bit more organized :)

I want to win this gorgeous Starbucks planner because having a planner helps me to be in control and I know, each and everyone of us wants to be in control when it comes to schedules, plans, events and reminders.

It lessens the stress and tension if nothing goes amiss in my daily life. :)

I deserve to win the 2010 Planner because I missed the 2009 Starbucks Planner! I was in hiatus for 9 months- from Nov. 4 last year (the launch of Starbucks Planner 2010) until August 17 this year due to a very difficult pregnancy. I've been out-of-touch, so to speak, and so when I returned to work, I felt something was missing --- Oh yeah, I have no journal to write on :-)

Why do I want to win this planner?Other than the fact that I really want to have that starbucks planner (which I can patiently get anyway by collecting the stickers), it's the thrill of joining this contest! ***LOL i just hope my senseless chatter here measures up to your standards...teehee!***

Everyone thinks im "burara", when you can play where's wally in my room, when i can't find a thing i kept in a safe place, or when a snake can't be noticed if you'll get a thing from my bag.I believe you can help me change this coming year, starting in my thoughts, scheds, and to-do's, it'll be a big help.I believe you know how.. hehe.. thanks..=)Rianne canuel - rizchellecanuel@google.com

Hi me too, I love Starbucks including the planner of course. But the past two years were a disappointment so I just bought my planner outside of Starbucks. I always tell that to the cashier of every Starbucks I went into. And what sucks most is that the Peppermint Mocha was not included in the choices for the holiday drink. Anyway, am gonna check out these planners and I will surely buy if its really gorgeous eventhough I already bought a planner for 2010.

By the way, please support our campaign. Read, sign on if you agree and spread the word to your friends about our online petition. Just click on this link - http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/debt-moratorium-now. Thanks.

Here's my reason # 2.. I deserve to win because I'm feeling klucky today..because I got a feeling.. that tonight's gonna be a good night.. that tonight's gonna be a good night.. woohoo.. (how unique.. haha)

Until now I still don't understand why people go gaga over this planner. My friend who isn't really a coffee lover would usually trekk to starbucks till he fills up the coupon so he can claim the planner. Adik tawag ko sa kanya. Hehehe. If makatsamba that I win this, I'll give it to him, ang saya siguro nun.

I would love to receive the free Starbucks planner because a planner is an essential part of my daily life. I embellish each page with stickers and illustrations. And aside from writing plans for the day, I also include remarkable happenings (like unforgettable dinners and purchases). I also write my daily Bible quotes that I encounter in my daily Bible reading. So whenever I flip through my planner pages, I get an instant moral boost. I also send the quotes to friends when they feel down. :)rizzajenielle@yahoo.com <3

i've never been a planner - i miss out very important events in my life. So, this contest of yours is a SIGN for me to change. This SBC planner will surely straighten me out! This will definitely mark the start of a new ME for the coming new year! :)

Christa is such a Starbucks planner girl. She has been collecting these for years. Well, when I was still working, Starbucks was in my building and of course, I could afford to go have coffee every day. Now that I'm home-based, it's a little harder and more expensive to buy Starbucks everyday (although I wish I could because I so love the Christmas flavors they have esp. the peppermint one). So for this year, I am hoping I could get her the planner without it costing me so much. As a mom to 4 kids and one with a limited budget, my priority this Christmas is putting good food on the table. A free Starbucks planner will be a wonderful gift I could put under the Christmas tree for my girl.

Hi Fran! I visit your blog everyday because as a home based worker and single mom, you really help keep me up to date and it's like I go places just sitting here and reading your blog. Keep up the good work and keep on inspiring us.

And if you decide to reward me the planner... it will really help me a lot with my schedules since I handle every thing in the house, from bills payments, church events organizing and up to my son's regular pedia visits :)

I am a crazed coffee fanaticI dream of holding the planner in my arms of going through the fantastic pages one by oneI talk to myself and others in my headI plan to note it down every schizo dayI hear talking in my head

Me: I'm going to win that planner i so totally deserve it

Carrie: Why? Let's just drink a cosmo and find the man of your dreams

Me: Because for many, they need the ideal man. Me I need the Ideal Planner. I can"t settle for less

day 3 is about to end and i just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has submitted their entries! i really enjoy reading all of your reasons and it will really be harder and harder for me to choose on the last day. still, i welcome the challenge and so...keep on writin!! :)

I really need this planner! I need to remember all my deadlines for work, my son's pedia appointments and my friends' birthdays. Plus I need something that I can jot down notes on when ideas and tasks pop into my head. Really crossing my fingers for this!

My schedule as a working mom is toxic. That's why most of the time I find myself forgetting important dates. This is where the Starbucks Planner would come in. It will be great to have it as my very reliable companion.

Hi Fran =)Living a rewarding life may be easy but we have this tendency to make it harder than it has to be and thus, our complicated lives. Planners come in handy to make our lives simpler.After being diagnosed with cancer a few years back, I have realized that we are only assured of the 'today'.I don't have a hectic schedule to write in the planner since I'm still in the process of recovery. I'll be using that planner however, for my daily recollections and as an inspiration that at this point in my life, I remembered being a kid and asked for what I really want. =)

Well I really don't drink coffee so there's no way that I can get and redeem one from Starbucks. But I want the planner so I can give it to my wife as a gift. I know she wants to have one but both of us aren't coffee drinkers so I hope I win this one.

"B"y today I will be celebrating different events of lifestarting' "U"ncle Peter's final day here on Earthfollowed by "C"elebration of Tita Zen's birthdayand then my "K"in and I will spend some bonding time together it makes you think if "S"hared precious moments are the reason why you are alive in the first place...

Every year since 2003, I made sure that I had my own planner (earlier than everyone else did) plus one or two more planners which I gave out to family/friends. I did everything I could to complete the sticker booklet ASAP - to the point of buying 3 drinks at a time.

This year though, I may not be able to acquire one since I was diagnosed with an illness that prohibits me from drinking coffee and dairy products. So if I want a planner, it's either I buy drinks for my friends so I'd have stickers, or beg my friends to give me their stickers!

I deserve to win a planner because i am a Wedding Planner/Organizer...What's so coincidence of always having those meetings with my brides right at the Starbucks Subic! The coffee does not only awaken our creativity and senses but helps us alleviating the stress the event planning brings us. Plus, thanks to it's anti-oxidant substance that helps us becoming youthful and glowing as the D-day is nearing.

This is my 3rd time to post a comment and I'm determined to post a comment everyday. I'm determined to have this planner that I believe I deserve to win. Why do I deserve to win this? Oh well, let me think --- Ok, I just recently gave birth to our youngest daughter, Nala, whom I delivered after 7 months of just lying on the bed and staring at our ceiling. That was how delicate my pregnancy was.

So you ask, what does my reason have to do with my deserving to win? Well...I miss having a journal for a year and I so miss writing on it :-)

please let me win this planner kasi sobrang galing ng marketing plan ng Starbucks this year....there's no way i can afford to complete three cards-full of stickers right?!? kasi naman, three different designs. kung yung three colors lang nahirapan na ako mamili,what more now. that is why i deserve to win!

Hi, just trying out my luck:) I really want to have this planner because I want to give it to my bestfriend..recently, she doesn't want to talk to me because of well, grades:p She's my thesis-mate and a big part of our grade was based on our blogs regarding our thesis, which I always forget to post on. She wasn't able to get the grade in order to receive an award, so I want to give her something that would remind us both to blog every time, from now on. I really hope to win, or at least have my bestfriend back:(

Merry Christmas FrannyWe blog, that's trueEveryday's a holiday, a Starbucks planner from you..Oh the nights i can't sleep, i wish I would winI wish it everydayold planner on the fire fills me with desire to hear you and you'll say that I'll give you starbucks plannerHappy writing tooIn my dreams and in my dreamsI'm writing there with you

Ang nakaraan... 11/05/09One day, I realized that I was really tired of going to work. I'm not happy anymore. I think that there's no life after work. But then one day...

Ang nakaraan... 11/06/09I went to a seminar and they taught me how to enjoy work... They asked me what I want... I said I want to write a blog... and then...

Ang nakaraan... 11/07/09After a day or two, I started blogging... I got to practice again self expression and meet new people through blogging. And the reason why I wanted the SB planner is that...

11/07/09I have lots of activities and events now. I just type them on my phone with limited spaces... Before, I was just doing nothing but now I'm perked up on a lot of things because of blogging. And that's why I needed the SB planner.

It's me again. I just finished watching You Tube videos of Michael Jackson with my kids and we enjoyed singing his songs to the max! If only I could write this marvelous experience in my journal...but you see, I don't have a journal to write on. Tsk, tsk.... This is one of the reasons why I want to have the 2010 Starbucks Planner/Journal badly. Experiences like this need to be relived and reminisced on again and again. So, I really hope I win (fingers' crossed).

Note: I forgot to put my name and email address on the comment I made last night.

We lost everything to typhoon Ondoy. Even my 2008 and 2009 SB planner were not sparedfrom Ondoy's wrath. Goodbye memories. Every year, I collect stickers just to get a holdof the planners. But this year, I have to make a sacrifice. Instead of shelling out 2000+ pesosfor those starbucks frappucinos, I would rather use the money to repair our appliances. Every single peso counts. The planner will be my first cherished possession if ever I'll win.

Also, because of what happened, we are already planning to rebuild / renovate our house. With this, i would like to document and record every progress / improvement made to our house using the planner.

Before going home from work, I read some of the entries I made on my 2008 Starbucks Planner. The last entry I wrote was on Nov. 4, the launching date of the Starbucks 2010 Planner. So, what does it mean? I dunno. I would like to think that it has to do with fate... my fate to win this 2010 planner :-)

i want to win the planner because i am DETERMINED to be more organized next year. actually, i have already started. : am cuurently reading David Allen's Getting Things Done and Regina Leeds' One Year to an Organized Worklife.:)

it's so hard to keep my mouth shut from telling hubby he doesn't need to buy coffee from starbucks to get the planner because if i do win, he'll get a planner from fran! (haha assuming ba na winner na? LOL)

but yeah, as i said i joined your promo not for me, but for hubby. so i hope this convinces you to let hubby win hehe

Please let me win coz i havent had a good nights sleep since starbucks launched the planners and you launched this contest...even in my half-asleep dreams i think of reasons to tell you why you should pick me. So PICK ME!!!

i can't believe it has only been a week since i first launched this contest and day by day, i get more and more overwhelmed with the replies that i get here. thanks to the daily reasons that you have shared here, the suspense-like story and the oh so tempting swap offer from Malaysia! haha

we have 20 more days to go and i am so excited to tally up the scores and to finally award the planner to someone who truly truly deserves a very merry Starbucks Christmas!!

I finally got to "feel" the 2010 Starbucks Planner! I went to a nearby Starbucks store during our lunch break a while ago and it was my first time to see and touch the 3 much-coveted planners. I held one so tightly, closed my eyes and made a wish. Then, I put back the planner to its original place and got out of the store. I guess you already know what I wished for :-)

I am hyperacidic though I'm a coffee lover since I was a child:) I love the smell of coffee and I can't help but to stop and turn to the scent. When I was young, I can't afford to buy my own cup from Starbucks but having a sip from my sister was heaven at that time:) Now, why do I deserve to have this planner? I won't hard sell myself because if I won't win it simply means that someone is far more deserving to have it:) I'm determined to have the Starbucks planner this year and I started to collect stickers already since day. If ever I will win this nice contest, I will give it to my partner who has always been patiently looking as I drink my Starbucks coffee. You see, Mienne has GERD and she is not allowed to drink coffee but she's always there to be with me and we spend hours talking and spending quality time together. My Starbucks planner last year was a diary of all the times that Mienne and I have spent together. It would be nice if she could have hers to and we'll make memories together and be able to write everything down by next year:) Our journey as lifetime partners is like a cup of Starbucks coffee - the more you drink, the more you crave for it; it will eventually be finsihed but there's always tomorrow to have more...just like us...the more we spend time together, the deeper our relationship goes; days may end but there are a lot of tomorrows for us:) A lot of Starbucks branches have seen my journey with Mienne and I swear, there will be a lot more...forever:)

so, Im a college frosh as of now, and coming from the province to study here in manila would mean REALLY adjusting to the environment.And I must say, here in manila compared to the province, everything has a fast pace like school lessons and stuffs, etc. so i really hope I could win this, because this can really help me a lot in adjusting here ,in my studies, and also for being independent as i live alone here in a condo. =D

i so need to win this. You wanna know why? One frap is over 400 calories, right? I cant afford that. My clothes dont fit anymore. So help me out and save me from the frap monster!!! he's got his claws on me and the only thing that will rlease him is a planner :-) yapatoots@gmail.com

Christmas, to a variety of different people, may mean a new-found love, a long-lost friend, or forgiveness between a mom and a daughter. Christmas naturally brings a feeling of happiness. It has the power to wipe away the sadness brought about by tragedies and calamities (remember the typhoon victims) that may have transpired throughout the year.

More than the universality of love, Christmas equally (if not more importantly) brings HOPE to a lot of people. As we dawn together to the beginning of a new year, Christmas is the yearly high that guarantees us that as another year comes to an end, a new one opens... akin to the warm sunshine that breaks the stillness of a cold night.

A new planner may not guarantee only happy memories for the year to come, but it does promise a whole new set of experiences and lessons to learn (and re-learn). A new planner may mean a new friend, or a new job (especially for newly-grads like me), a new found faith (or perhaps a renewed one), a new song, poem, story, or work of art... or simply 365 new days for building memories with the people who matter in your life. A new planner means 365 days of hope... 365 days to share... each turn of a page implies that we should never give up amidst life's challenges because there will always be a new day, another chance... another take at making things better.

I think I deserve this starbucks planner because I can not complete the sb card because I’m not that rich to spend drinks and lattes everyday. I used to complete those stickers but now, I have to save my money. Last year I almost completed the stickers, I just did not have money for the last stickers. I hope I can get this one for free because I love sb and I will take care of the starbucks planner. I will be so thankful if I win and I will tell this to my friends and family.

I deserve this Starbucks Planner because I’ve been completing Starbucks Planner since 2004. And every year I don’t just complete one sb card. I want to have a lot sb planner, so I can use one and I can give my mom or sister the other one. So this year I think I deserve a free planner for I’ve been loyal to starbucks. If I win, this will be my favorite Starbucks Planner ever. And oh, the starbucks planner since 2004, 2005 and so on, I’m still keeping these, though those are already used.

I believe each year, Starbucks is creating a way to help others -- and that is through the planner. I admit that I do wait for this season, yet I cannot complete any card. I did have one planner, but I had it as a gift for my debut (year 2008). It brings me joy that when I see someone crave for a planner, because they are not aware that they have been helping those in the Sparkhope. And that's what I've wanted to do.. because the planner isn't only because you're cool after having it, but the joy you bring to the beneficiary of the planners.:)

Ang nakaraan... 11/11/09

Last month I was just really happy because after two years of painstakingly saving money from my super "liit" salary, I got to buy my laptop, but then one thing happened last week...

11/12/09

Before I went to sleep, I hugged my laptop. I don't know why. And I was thinking to use it the next morning after I charged it to make a calendar and print it out so that I can make my events calendar... But then Tuesday morning came...

"P"atience has not always been my companionfrom the "Lips" of Brad Cohenwho is an "Amazing" teacher withTourettes sy"N"drome"N"onetheless, he strived to not let his disability take over himh"E" kept his eye on the prizeand he is now "R"emembered as one of the great educators of his time.

I deserve to win because I tend to forget things... and I am a person who doesn't want to forget things. As a person who loves to chronicle life events, it's very helpful to have a "companion" that can help me not forget.

...and also because I can't afford the coffee at Starbucks. It's sad, but it's true.

I would love to win this so I can plan out weekend or one-day trips (aside from pedia check-ups, errands & hubby-related chuvas) with my 2 year old boy. He's my 1st-born & I would love to discover new places with him (fit for his age) as well as make him a well-rounded person like attending kiddie workshops and art stuff.

When you have your firstborn, I feel idealistic and like any moms out there, I want to give him the best the world has to offer. I'm not going to deprive him of that.

11/13/2009

... I woke up and when I came to see my laptop, it was already gone. Someone stole my laptop. Huhuhu...

I would love to have one of these planners. Walking around carrying one of these will truly make my crazy daily schedule a piece of cake. I can't find any planners as good as Starbuck's. Some are too big while some lack the details I need.

Having one of these will make me belong to the elite (those who have the money to afford numbers of Starbucks beverages, that is, hehe)

Hi! I'd be happy to win this Starbucks planner because I'm getting married next year and it would help a lot with organizing and planning. I'd appreciate it if you can contribute to the success of my wedding planning by awarding me this planner ;)

I missed writing my entry last night. I came home late last night and when I looked at the clock it was past midnight already. Oh well... I still deserve to win this SB Planner because I know it will be put to good use and so that I won't have to buy anymore.

hi.. i really love to have this planner.. it's just that, im not able to avail starbucks drinks and have stickers because im so busy. i think that this planner is much better from the previous starbucks planner.. i hope. , really really hope that i'll win this so that i'll be organized with my works and responsibilities,, thanks!

I deserve to win a Starbucks' planner because I think I am, indeed, addicted to their products. I always visit every store I see along the way. I also recruit the person I know to try them and it was a hit. Lastly, It's because I never had a chance to own one because before I never the stickers. I'm desperately need to have one for this may be the start to keep my plans organize and what better way to start this is from my favorite coffee shop which is STARBUCKS!

Before I went to sleep, I hugged my laptop. I don't know why. And I was thinking to use it the next morning after I charged it to make a calendar and print it out so that I can make my events calendar... But then Tuesday morning came...

11/13/2009

... I woke up and when I came to see my laptop, it was already gone. Someone stole my laptop. Huhuhu...

11/14/2009

I was really upset because I really earned money to buy that and now it's gone. No more blogging, no more Facebook, oh so sad and no more events calendar. Bye, bye laptop... But this thing that happened makes me think of something... wanna know? Find out tomorrow!!!

Oh my, I think I'm your 180th "commenter" already as of this minute. Competition is tough and I know I'm not the only one who is religiously making a comment here in your blog. Anyway, I'm still thankful that I have the chance to win.

My eldest daughter who's 9 years old just wrote her first entry on her "Up Planner" which she won during an Up event at the Glorietta mall. I was happy seeing her starting to be interested in writing or maintaining a planner. I could see myself in her. It's almost the end of the year, yet it was her first time to write on it. Well, at least, she has her own planner to write on :-)

dear fran,i was out and got no net connection.i passed by a starbucks branch earlier and caught a glimpse of the planner.i just hope i get to win in this contest because i've never been lucky in winning one.

hi, fran! i've always loved starbucks' planners. they really look professional and nice. they're also very helpful in planning my daily, weekly, and monthly activities. I've been so used to their planners that it's kinda hard to function without them. I always make it a point to start collecting stickers asap. It'll be really nice to get this year's planner FREE for a change. :D

"Why I wanted to have the SB planner comic-strip-like story." IS BACK!!!

Now, I'm back to basics... I will be using my notebook again for blogging sketches, instead of Facebook I'll be just keeping in touch with my friends personally and for my events calendar, back to my phone again... but it will be better with SB planner, right?

wow... nice giveaway! I've been wanting to have a starbucks planner ever since but really can't get it coz I go often to Starbucks due to being busy... and I guess I should win that planner coz I'm busy? HAHAHA. I mean, the Starbucks planner isn't really just an ordinary planner and maybe if I'll win your giveaway, I could go to Starbucks most of the time already coz of the coupons. I rarely go to Starbucks due to being a student and sometimes, being a student, allowance won't really allow me to enjoy Starbucks everyday. How's that? HAHA. I wish I could have work already after graduating so that I can be so addicted to Starbucks coz their coffees are the best :)
